Check out the next box. This is an example of a Minecraft Bedrock `server.properties` file. ``` server-name=Dedicated Server gamemode=survival difficulty=easy allow-cheats=false max-players=10 online-mode=true white-list=false server-port=19132 server-portv6=19133 view-distance=10 tick-distance=4 player-idle-timeout=30 max-threads=8 ``` What does each option do? * **Server Name** - This is the server name shown in the in-game server list - It can be: Any string * **Gamemode** - Always or only for new players - It can be: survival (0), creative (1), adventure (2) * **Difficulty** - Set the server's difficulty - It can be: peaceful (0), easy (1), normal (2), hard (3) * **Allow Cheats** - Allow commands on the server (to every player) - It can be: __true__ or __false__. * **Max Players** - The maximum numbers of players that should be able to play on the server. Higher values have performance impact - It can be any number (if you have the Unlimited Slots Addon) * **Online-Mode** - If true then all connected players must be authenticated to Xbox Live. Clients connecting to remote (non-LAN) servers will always require Xbox Live authentication regardless of this setting. If the server accepts connections from the Internet, then it's highly recommended to enable online-mode - It can be: __true__ or __false__. * **Whitelist** - If true then all connected players must be listed in the separate `whitelist.json` file. See the Whitelist section - It can be: __true__ or __false__. * **Server Port** - The Server IP's Port * **View Distance** - The maximum allowed view distance.

If set to 0 then players can idle indefinitely - It can be: Any number (in seconds). * **Max Threads** - Maximum number of threads the server will try to use - Any number. --- # ๐Ÿ“‚ Folders and Utilities ๐Ÿ“‚ Bedrock Servers, by default, generate 3 new directories in your FTP. If you're using another software such PocketMine-MP or NukkitX, it should generate new folders such as the " `plugins` " folder. Properly, for default, it should generate: * __worlds__ * __resource_packs__ * __behavior_packs__ And their Utilities: 1. **worlds**: This folder will be created at startup if it doesn't already exist. Every world created will have a folder named according to their `level-name` inside the `server.properties` file. 2. **resource_packs**: This is where new resource packs can be installed. At the moment there's no way of activating them in a level. 3. **behavior_packs**: This is where new behavior packs can be installed. At the moment there's no way of activating them in a level. --- # ๐Ÿ–ฅ Commands ๐Ÿ–ฅ Maybe you're familiar to Minecraft commands, right?
